And so as the clocks back in Britain tick past midnight, the 40th running of the Breeders’ Cup is in the form book, and the winning rides by Frankie Dettori, William Buick and Ryan Moore aboard Inspiral, Master Of The Seas and Auguste Rodin respectively will live long in the memory. Rick Dutrow, meanwhile, is back from his 10-year exile, and winning on the biggest stage that US racing can offer. Funny how things can turn around.
I hope you enjoyed the live coverage on the blog and there will be plenty to chew over tomorrow, but for now this is Greg Wood at Santa Anita, signing off.
BREEDERS' CUP SPRINT RESULT:
1. ELITE POWER, 2. Gunite, 3. Nakatomi.
